I had horrible mood swings omg I though for a sec I was goin crazy! lol. I am 6 weeks out now and they kinda calmed down. I heard from numerous ppl that the the fat cells we are getting rid of hold alot of hormones so as they are released,we are like overloaded with hormones. Hope I explained that right but my point is,I think it's normal lol. Hope you feel better soon! ((HUGS))

You are definetly not alone on this one. For awhile, my friends said they didn't know if I was gonna hug them or punch them, laugh or cry. THEN, at my one month check up, a P.A. told me to stop taking my depression/anxiety medicine immediately, cold turkey. Girl, I was a mess! I finally called 2 weeks later and complained and they said I wasn't supposed to stop taking it, they made a mistake! Anyways, I am good now. I hope you are coping better with the mood swings, if not, see your Dr. Good Luck :)

I am allowed to eat pretty much anything now. I keep it lean Protein first,then veggies. It is very hard for me to get in enough food for it to have any nutritional value tho. So,I am still very dependant on the Protein shakes.

I have been so incredibly grouchy this weekend. I am afraid to be around people lest I lash out!! LOL Not only have I been grouchy, but tired. I fall asleep every time I sit down.

P.S. I might be less grouchy if I hadn't been on a stall for like 12 days! :blink:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
